VCXO high-precision clock

 

A high-precision VCXO (voltage controlled crystal oscillator) of +/- 3 ppm 
(*) is used for the internal clock circuit. A dedicated stabilized power 
supply circuit improves the stability of the clock. The high precision audio 
clock signal generated by the VCXO is directly delivered to the dual mono 
D/A converter. This enables higher quality reproduction, substantially 
reducing jitter.

Factory setting

Clock sync function supporting 10 MHz to 

synchronize with an external device 

This function allows upgrading to a higher quality sound system by 
connecting the unit to a high precision master clock generator when 
playing back Super Audio CD/CD. A 10 MHz clock is supported in addition 
to WORD clock (44.1kHz to 176.4kHz). When the unit is in D/A converter 
mode, asynchronous USB connection supports clock sync function.

Supports “Direct Master Clock LinK” with an 

external clock generator 

“Direct Master Clock Link” is our new technology originally developed for 
the P-02/D-02 combo for more precise, direct clocking. With this 
technology, the D/A converter simply uses ultra high precision “master 
clock (22.5792MHz)” supplied from external master clock, without a need 
of “sync” its operation to the master. This system enables shorter-path 
clocking by bypassing internal PLL circuit, and delivers more precise, 
focused imaging

Excellent usability

- 32-bit precision digital attenuator function
- User selectable output level adjustment of 
  the XLR audio output (0 dB/

6 dB

- XLR pin assignment can be changed to 
  match external devices (Pin 2 Hot or Pin 3 Hot)
